Begin the Beguine-Artie Shaw/Artie Shaw Orchestra

[ti:Begin The Beguine] [ar:Porter] [al:All I Do Is Dream Of You] [offset:0] [00:00.35]When they begin, the beguine, [00:07.39]It brings back the sound of music so tender. [00:13.61] [00:14.47]It brings back a night of tropical splendor. [00:21.30] [00:22.04]It brings back a memory evergreen. [00:28.46] [00:29.30]I'm with you once more, [00:32.23]Under the stars. [00:35.66] [00:36.66]And down by the shore an orchestra's playin'. [00:42.48] [00:43.97]And even the palms seem to be swayin' [00:50.37] [00:51.65]When they begin the beguine. [00:58.61]To live it again is past all endeavor, [01:05.09] [01:06.03]Except when that tune clutches my heart, [01:13.19]And there we are, swearing to love forever, [01:20.00]And promising never, never to part. [01:27.96]Patty: [01:28.21]What moments divine, what rapture serene, [01:32.88] [01:35.37]Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted. [01:42.26] [01:42.83]And now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted, [01:48.53] [01:50.26]I know too well what they mean. [01:56.08]All: [01:56.96]So let them begin the beguine. [02:03.97] [02:04.98]Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember. [02:12.39]Let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember, [02:20.77]When they begin the beguine. [02:26.91]Oh, yes, let them begin the beguine, make them play, [02:34.71]Till the stars that were there before return above you. [02:45.02] [02:45.79]Till you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you!" [02:53.23]And we suddenly know what heaven we're in, [03:00.99]When they begin the beguine. [03:07.85] [03:08.46]When they begin the beguine. [03:16.73]
